Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Regarding 2) it *is* a .doc if not the default windows handler would not work for it.
Regarding 1) :
[asimha AT asimha-w2k02 /etc]$ mount
D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)
D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)
D:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type user (binmode,noumount)
[asimha AT asimha-w2k02 /etc]$ df -k
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts
5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
D:\cygwin\bin 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/bin
D:\cygwin\lib 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/lib
D:\cygwin 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /
c: 6289888 2666732 3623156 43% /cygdrive/c
d: 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /cygdrive/d
z: 555604 555604 0 100% /cygdrive/z
is there a way to mount d:\cygwin\tmp as it's own file system or simply make cygwin
use my desktop as tmp?
Thanks,
